Mama Heart Hands Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Two hands pressed together forming a heart shape with the word mama worked into or beneath the composition. Its a gestural image, you can see the finger outlines clearly enough to recognise what theyre doing but its not anatomically fussy, more like a clean line-art sketch than a clinical illustration. Single colour throughout, density sits at 346 stitches per sq inch, so the satin fill on the hands has enough coverage to read well without being stiff on lighter fabrics like cotton shirting or linen.

5 sizes ranging from 3.69 by 4.01 inches on the small version, climbing to 7.36 by 8.01 on the full size, with a 8697-20396 stitch range across the run. Started the file in Wilcom and kept the underlay direction consistent so the fill on the palm sections doesnt pull sideways when the hoop tension is applied. Pop a soft cutaway under wovens, and if youre putting this on a stretchy fabric like a ribbed knit or cotton jersey, back it with a slightly heavier cutaway so the hands dont distort. A customer this year sent me a photo of this stitched on a salmon pink terry cloth robe and the finger-heart shape came out really legible even through the loop texture, which I was glad to see.

Best thread choice is 40wt rayon or polyester in a single tone. Dont overthink the colour. The image reads clearly in wine red on cream, dusty rose on white, navy on pale grey, basically whatever colour combo the recipient would wear. Stitch it slow on anything with pile, the hands section has abit of detail that rushes badly at high machine speed.

Add the mama text detail and this becomes a motherhood gift that works all year, not just in May. Personalise by choosing a thread colour she'd actually wear rather than defaulting to pink. Got a question about sizing or stabiliser choice, send me a message and Ill respond quickly.
